Apparently intent on reducing The A.V. Club’s NBC coverage, the network is pushing out another comedy series so it can focus on a drama-based midseason programming slate. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has moved Parks And Recreation from its usual Thursday-night time slot to Tuesdays at 8 p.m., where it will air back-to-back episodes of the sitcom beginning on January 13.

NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt touts the move as an opportunity to “‘eventize’ the final season to maximize the impact of these episodes, which really do take the show to a new level.” Greenblatt says that rescheduling the show to Tuesday was intended to give the hour-long series finale, which he calls “a very special hour of television,” the largest audience possible. But playing two episodes a week will reduce Parks And Recreation’s final season to a mere seven weeks. That feels more like a burn-off than a gala event, even if it does get to replace The Voice.
